What it is

Salt and garlic is a common seasoning blend made by combining dried, ground garlic (from the garlic plant bulb) with salt. Salt is typically obtained from mines or by evaporating seawater.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salt and garlic to food products primarily for flavor. It provides a savory, pungent, and salty taste and is commonly found in seasoning mixes, dips, marinades, and frozen appetizers.

Health notes

Both salt and garlic are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Salt is an essential nutrient, but the FDA advises limiting sodium intake to 2,300 mg per day to reduce the risk of high blood pressure. Garlic is generally considered safe for consumption. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride (salt) and did not set a numeric limit as it is a fundamental nutrient.

Allergen info

Neither salt nor garlic are considered major allergens by the FDA, nor do they contain gluten.
